Desk note: Monexus framed day eight as a dual story (on-pitch result plus the security dispute FIFA is moving to contain) rather than leading on the controversy alone. The wire's "ticketless fans breached security" framing is reproduced with FIFA's denial in the same section, on the principle that a governing body's rebuttal deserves the same column-inches as the original claim.
